Throughout his life as a priest,
his love for Mary grew.
He shared this miraculous love
by remembering everyone's prayer needs,
and blessing all of us with encouragement and hope.
His message to us was
that praying the Rosary
is the answer for every difficulty
the world presents to our families.
His grace filled love for Mary
melodiously echoed throughout the sanctuary
as he lead us in praying the Rosary.
Dear Father,
Thank you for being such a wonderful priest.
May your retirement be a happy and blessed one.
